duh, it seems like everybody here wants to be Betamax. 8-) Except for the one guy that actually *isn't* you on these boards (i.e. ME). :evil: I do have to give credit where credit is due though unfortunately. You and Strangelove actually have convinced everyone on here that Brown Knight = Betamax.....

Few thoughts: 1) I would absolutely do Tanev and our 6th for Reinhart if it meant keeping onto Horvat. 2) Royaldude - you're out to lunch if you think Tanev is worth more than both Gardiner and JVR! He's certainly worth more than Gardiner, but I think JVR would be considered a better hockey player a...

I'm not Betamax or any other fucking handle on here The trolls on here have won as I am literally starting to get fucking pissed off. I want to confirm for the record that I'm not Betamax or any other fucking handle on here. Even though I haven't posted the past few days, I still skim the boards to...

I think Toews could very well be considered the best overall player in the game........even moreso than Crosby in my opinion. You know with guys like Toews (or Linden for that matter) ... guys that elevate their play during the Playoffs (usually). The Son of Paul elevated his play during his team's...

But still - we have guys like Edler, Tanev, Burrows, Hansen, and Higgins that should capture some interest. What if it was our 6th overall + 1 or 2 of those guys I mentioned? This is essentially what every reasonable poster has been saying throughout this thread. We don't see Benning parting with t...

NO ONE is putting Reinhart in the same weight class as Sakic, Toews, Crosby, and McDavid/MacKinnon/Eichel. Despite the fact that he has won 2 Cups, I really don't know why you have Toews mixed in with that collection of names. We'll really have to disagree on this one Meds. Not only do I think that...

You mean the 2009 Hawks team that featured Marty Havlat as its leading scorer? That had 20-year olds Kane and Toews taking them to the conference finals and losing to the defending cup champs and the highest scoring team in the league that finished 3rd overall? A team that had 4 30-goal scorers? Ye...

THERE IS NO SMOKE . :roll: (unless you call what blows out of the ass of certain folks "smoke") The " difference " being that we have a lower echelon hack saying "Hey how about this guys...") versus top hacks saying "I have heard from reliable sources that..." The "difference" is SPECULATION versus...

Kuzma is right though, it would have to take Horvat and our 6th to pull it off and that is just a no go IMO. Depth wins. Depth wins, but that is not how you build depth. Drafting top end talent is king. You get top end talent first, and then focus on depth. Chicago, LA, Pittsburgh, and Boston all d...

You lose any credibility not recognizing what is obvious to a fan with even passing knowledge of NHL hockey. The Hawks 2009-10 roster is far and away the best team since the 04 lockout. It may be the best team in the last 15 years however the 01 Avs and the 02 Wings would be in that conversation as...

It's not a question of wanting to make the deal, it's a question of having the cards to play with and clearly Garam Marsala, we don't have the cards. Bo Horvat is not in play, get over it If it's vets that Florida wants and they don't want/need Horvat, then that's great! I'd obviously rather keep H...
